الخلاصة: In short: In Abu Arish (Abu Arish), epoxy coating & waterproofing for duplexes begins with the moisture meter for ceilings and walls and the thickness measurement at spread-out points; nothing is opened until the position is clear.

Why epoxy coating & waterproofing differs in Abu Arish
Team note on Abu Arish: Kashf teams serve this city and its nearby districts with the same documented inspection standard: device-based leak detection without demolition, a written report, and a clear scope before any work begins.. The centre of Abu Arish sits about 67 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data).
Before any quote is given for epoxy coating or waterproofing in Abu Arish, the first thing checked is the ground and the building's relation to it. The centre of Abu Arish sits about 67 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so the technician looks at how water is likely to move across and under a duplex plot rather than assuming it will collect in a low spot. The checklist starts with the parts of the structure that take the most water: basement walls and slabs, bathrooms, and any roof areas exposed to rain. Basement waterproofing is priced at SAR 50–150 per m², bathroom waterproofing at SAR 15–40 per m², and liquid roof waterproofing at SAR 8–25 per m², so these figures help the homeowner understand which zones usually carry the largest share of the cost before anyone walks the property.
What is left to the site visit is the part that cannot be judged from a description. The technician needs to see the actual condition of the surfaces, whether there are cracks that need crack injection (SAR 40–120 per metre), how the substrate is holding moisture, and which system suits each area. Epoxy coating runs from SAR 35–90 per m², spray foam from SAR 20–45 per m², and bitumen membrane from SAR 15–35 per m², and the right choice depends on what is seen on the day. The same applies to water tanks, where tank internal coating is SAR 25–60 per m², and to insulation work where XPS boards at SAR 12–30 per m² may be considered. Any final figure is confirmed only after measurement and inspection.
To help the technician, it is useful to have the layout of the duplex to hand, the age of the building, any previous repairs, and a note of where damp has already appeared inside. Photographs of cracks, stains and the areas that feel damp make the first visit faster. Clear access to the basement, bathrooms, roof and tanks should also be arranged in advance. This information lets the site visit focus on the work that matters and gives the homeowner a clearer picture of what is needed in Abu Arish.
In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.

Tools we use in Abu Arish
| Tool or method | What it measures | Why it is chosen here |
|---|---|---|
| Fill test with level monitoring | Whether a tank coating holds after the work | Limits: takes time to monitor the level |
| Thickness measurement at spread-out points | Whether the thickness in the quote was achieved | Limits: for foam and liquid-applied layers |
| Moisture meter for ceilings and walls | Where water is entering now, from inside | Limits: measures the effect, not the water path |
The steps in order
- Surface moisture reading: Epoxy is applied only when the substrate is dry enough.
- Careful preparation: Grinding and cleaning for adhesion.
- Layers: Primer and body coats as specified.
- Inspection: Thickness and curing are checked.
